ENEA Technology
PROCESSES FOR THE RECOVERY OF ENERGY AND VALUABLE MATERIALS FROM WASTES
Technology Readiness Level (TRL)
5÷7
Innovations and Benefits
This technology allows to develop and produce:
- innovative industrial production chains for the recovery of energy and high added-value materials;
- new techniques targeted at reducing the environmental impact of wastes;
- energy from wastes and residual biomasses;
- high added-value material from wastes and novel techniques for the best exploiting the recovered material (e.g., for higher added-value semifinished products);
- identification of new recovered material supply sources.
Use
Development of thermovalorization processes (pyrolysis, gasification); it allows to effectively support the sector industry through, firstly, the production of energy and materials from wastes and residual biomasses.
Applications and ongoing Activities
The industrial production of some innovative pilot-scale processes is in progress. Some examples:
- facility for the production of energy and activated carbons from waste tyres and residual or waste biomasses;
- facility for the exploitation of car fluff to produce electrical and thermal energy.
